SUMMARY:Ravens Cry Theatre: Film Showing: The Friend
DESCRIPTION:USA 2024\, 119 min\, Drama\nDirector: Scott McGehee\nStarring: Bill Murray\, Naomi Watts\, Cloé Xhauflaire \nWhat’s going to happen to the dog? That becomes the central question in this gently paced exploration of friendship and grief\, both human and canine. The film stars Naomi Watts in a nuanced performance as Iris\, with a supporting role from Bill Murray as Walter. \nWhen Walter dies\, he bequeaths the care of his Great Dane\, Apollo\, to his friend Iris\, who tries to resist caring for this very large dog\, partly due to her small New York apartment but also due to her need to work from home as a writer. Apollo is disruptive to her life and her work. As the story progresses\, both woman and dog create a bond that resists separation and each finds comfort in this new relationship.

SUMMARY:Raven’s Cry Theatre: FILM SHOWING: So Surreal: Behind the Masks
DESCRIPTION:Canada 2024\, 88 min\, Documentary\nDirector: Neil Diamond\, Joanne Robertson\nA fascinating film documenting the search for Indigenous Northwest artifacts that were taken from their places of origin by trade\, sale\, and theft. Some items travelled long journeys\, ending up in New York antique stores or in the studios and homes of European Surrealists\, such as Max Ernst and others\, whose works distinctly reveal the influence of these masks.\nCree director Neil Diamond\, accompanied by a team of interested parties including cultural preservation workers and art experts\, embarks on an investigative journey that illuminates the efforts to repatriate Indigenous art. The film is as engaging as a detective story and is enhanced by vivid imagery and interviews with the compassionate searchers
